Political Notes.

The Virginia Democratic State convention,
which meets at Roanoke Thursday of next
week, will be attended by at least five hun
dred delegates. Most of the recognized party
leaders in every section of the State have! been
chosen delegates, and the prospect is that the
personnel of the convention will compare
fayorably with any similar gathering held in
that State since the war. So far as expression
has been made in the county conventions the
Riddleberger bill will likely be reafirmed as
the best settlement the State will eoncede to
creditors.
Next Monday an election will be held 10
Kentucky for State officers and for members
of the Legislature, which will choose United
States Senator to succeed the Hon. James b..
Beck On the Democratic side the canvass
has been brief, but active, Gen. S. b. Buck
ner the nominee for Governor, having been
assisted in his canvass BY Senators Beck and
Blackburn, Congressman Breckenridge, Hon.
Henry Watterson, end other well EnoY1 ora,
tors. On the Republican side the work of
the campaign has principally devolved on Col.
w. 0. Bradley, the nominee for Governor,
who is an aggressive eampaigner. There is
no reason to doubt the election of the Demo
cratic State ticket by large majority. The
pFoSpsnt is that the Democrats will also retain
their usual overwhelming majority in both
branches of the Legislature.
Ohio virtually leads this year in the open
ing of the presidential struggle of 1883, The
State ticket nominated last week by the Dem
ocrats, headed by the Hon. Thomas Z. Powell
for Governor, is warmly approved by all fac
lions of the party, and the indications are
that tho Democrats will conduct an aggressive
campaign, with ranks solidly closed up. Mr..
Powell, who was ia Chicago Sunday, said
.sthe Democratic party in Ohio is united and
harmonious" and he expressed the opinion
that the Democratic prospects are very good
for victory In the coming State campaign"
Mr.. Powell is an able canvasser, and he gave
the keynote of his campaign ip his speech of
acceptance when he heartily Endorsed Presi-
dent CIeyelaBd's administration, and de-
nounced the present Republican State ad-
ministration in Ohio as "the most corrupt
and imbecile within It's history"

Action of the Carroll Delegation.


In accordance with the wishes of the
Democratic party of Carroll county, the
delegates chosen to represent the county in
the recent state convention were instructed
to use all proper means to secure the NOM
ination of Attorney General Roberts for
Governor On the night before the con-
vcntion met General Roberts concluded
that he would not have sufficient strength
to win, and determined not to go before
the convention. The delegates, after con-
sultation, then determined to support
Mr.. Brown. Mr. Brown had reason to
believe he could succeed, if he were backed
by the vote of his county, and the dclega-
ton went TO him Immediately upon the
withdrawal of Mr.. Roberts. A long with
Carroll went the Roberts delegates from
Baltimore city and county and from Cecil,
giving Mr.. Brown twenty votes.
While the party sentiment in Carroll
was for General Roberts, it was not the
intention of himself or friends, in the event
of his failure to succeed, to prevent any
other of CAROLS sons from obtaining the
prize. Mr.. Brown was candidate, but
only asked the vote of Carroll in the event
General Roberts could not succeed, and
when the latter concluded to withdraw the
delegation then espoused the candidacy OF
Mr. Brown. Congressman Shaw put him
in nomination, and the delegation voted
for him on every ballot. On the sixth and
last, CAROLS five votes were recorded for
Mr.. Brown, but he went down with Baugh-
man, Hodges and Archer before the In
vinciblc strength of Jackson.

The rivalry between British and American
yachtmen continues. 1t is known that the
Americans won the prize cup in British
waters, number of years ago, since which
Eime efforts have been made, from time to
stime, to win il back, but the Americans have
beaten their competitors in every trial, the
yacht MayGower beating the British yachts
..Genesta and Galatea, in the two latest con-
tests. These contests have led 10 the build
ing of new boats, both in Great Britain and
in this country, with an eye TO the highest at
tainable speed. The Scotch yacht builders
have produced the Thistle, which has out
sailed every yacht, so far, it has contested
with. The Americans have built new flyer
called the Volunteer, which is expected to
outsail the American champion yacht, May
flower, and all her European competitors
The Thistle is coming over shortly, and the
contest between her and the Volunteer will
be an event of more than usual importance.

Pneumatic Tubes, forthe passage of railroad
trains across tka Atlantic, is one of the pos
sibiIities of science, though this generation
may not witness their practical operation.
Col. j. H. Pierce, of Sarthington, Connect
cut, has been studying the matter, and has
reached point at which he believes he can
show that tubes can be used The speed to
be obtained, it Is thought by Col. Pierce, can
be one thousand miles m hour, and at this
rate the trip across the Atlantic can be made
in three hours. Persons who may be 9ispos-
ed to ridicule or laugh at the pneumatic tube
project of Col. Pierce, should remember that
the telegraph, the tephone, the railroad, the
steamboat and most all other great trinmphs
of mans mind and skin we're similarly rtdi-
culed and laughed at.
